Things Fall Apart: Preemie Baby Formula Recalled

Posted by Karen Murphy

similac formula recallYikes. It's scary when it turns out that what you're feeding your baby could possibly be harmful. If your baby is a preemie and you feed special prescription formula, you need this information:  Similac "special care 24 calorie ready-to-feed premature infant formula with iron" is being recalled. Turns out? It doesn't actually have iron, at least not as much as it states it does on the label, and babies fed this for more than a month run the risk of becoming anemic.

About 5000 cases of formula, which comes in two-ounce ready-to-feed bottles, are involved in the recall, which is limited to some lot numbers included in stock code of 59582. If you have any questions you can contact the manufacturer, Abbott Labs, at 1-888-899-9182
